SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: West Point's Only Climate Scientist Fired Over Teaching Human Causes
Source: The Guardian - Climate Crisis
The only climate scientist teaching at West Point, the U.S. army's military academy, was fired after he resisted an order to stop teaching about the human causes of climate change, a lawsuit claims. Adam Kalkstein, a geography professor at the New York institution, was terminated after the spring semester this year, six months after a tense meeting with Brigadier General Shane Reeves, then dean of West Point's academic board, the court filing...

The #Trump admin moved Thursday to restrict the duration of #visas for #InternationalStudents, #exchange workers & #journalists.
The new rule from #DHS creates a fixed time period for F visas for students, J visas that allow visitors on #CulturalExchange programs to work in the US, & I visas for members of the #media. Those visas are currently available for the duration of the program or employment in the #US.

The State Is Escalating Charges Against Protesters. Labor Must Defend Them.
John Caravello is facing decades in prison for an anti-ICE protest. He needs labor to build a national defense campaign. -
A quotation from Henry Commager
We do not need to fear ideas, but the censorship of ideas. We do not need to fear criticism, but the silencing of criticism. We do not need to fear excitement or agitation in the academic community, but timidity and apathy. We do not need to fear resistance to political leaders, but unquestioning acquiescence in whatever policies those leaders adopt.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist

The University of Oklahoma has shown by its actions of late that it is not a legitimate school and that its academic standards are sub-par at best, based upon the #SamanthaFulnecky debacle.
I think it is time to start filing complaints with the accreditation agency for OU, the Higher Learning Commission.
Complaints can be filed here: https://www.hlcommission.org/for-students/file-a-complaint-against-an-institution/

"In February, Sheffield Hallam University, home to the Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice (HKC), a leading research institution focused on human rights, ordered one of its best-known professors, Laura Murphy, to cease research on supply chains and forced labour in China."
Academic freedom is threatened by institutional conflicts of interest. Her research has been reinstated after she said she would take legal action.

I don't want the UK to be further sucked in to the US led campaign against China, but stuff like this obstructs efforts to tamp down Sinophobia.

#Texas just gutted #FreeSpeech on #college #campuses. Is your state next?
New laws in the Lone Star State will silence dissent and undermine #faculty authority.
By Laura Benitez and Jonathan Friedman
July 14, 2025"As thousands of students return to college campuses this fall, they will find themselves stepping into an environment reshaped by political and ideological mandates. Across the country, state legislators have been racing to exert new influence over free expression in higher education. Now, Texas has surged to the forefront, closing its 2025 legislative session by passing two alarming laws that take effect Sept. 1.
"Signed by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) in June, the new laws amount to a stunningly aggressive legislative crackdown on campus protest (#SB2972) and academic shared governance (#SB37) at public colleges and universities. The laws will not just silence dissent and undermine faculty authority in Texas; they provide a blueprint for how to dismantle academic freedom and chill speech on campus state by state.
"Only a few years ago, conservative lawmakers railed against college 'free-speech zones,' arguing that liberal administrators were muzzling students on the rest of campus. In 2019, Texas legislators joined other states in taking action by declaring all outdoor spaces on public campuses open for protest and speech by students, employees and the general public.
"Now, some of the same legislators have done an about-face. The campus protest law actually directs public colleges and universities to implement a version of free-speech zones and adopt sweeping limitations on protests. #Encampments? Banned. #Megaphones or #speakers during 'class hours'? Forbidden — if anyone claims your 'expressive activity' is one that 'intimidates others' or 'interferes' with an employee’s duties. Even wearing a mask during a protest — something many do for safety — could land a student or employee a disciplinary hearing resulting in 'sanctions.' And any expressive activity between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. is off-limits altogether."

2 #professors from #Rutgers University in #NJ went out on a limb to write a “mutual defense compact” for #BigTen schools.
The professors—1 teaches chemistry in Camden, the other psychology in Newark—said they were frustrated by #Trump’s abrupt cuts to #research #funding & its efforts to dictate #policy on some campuses.
They were also troubled by the lack of a unified response by #university leaders.
